Resources & What we are up to

Don't drown in the demands of caregiving. Veronica Pulido shares how to stay Aflote and protect your mental & emotional wellness while supporting a loved one through serious illness.

In this episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, my guest co-host Cynthia Phelps and I, Christine Gautreaux, are joined by Veronica Pulido, the Founder and CEO of Aflote (formerly Good Grief). Veronica's mission was born from her personal journey of caring for her father during a rare form of cancer. She realized that the medical journey is often as exhausting for the caregiver as it is for the patient, and she created Aflote to ensure no one has to navigate that path alone.

We focus on the Mental and Emotional Wellness dimensions, specifically addressing the heavy load of supporting someone through a serious illness. Veronica explains how Aflote provides the community, tools and resources needed to manage the complex logistics and emotional strain of caregiving. If you are currently feeling overwhelmed by a medical crisis or the responsibilities of being a caregiver, this whole-self conversation offers the clarity and support you need to keep going.
